English Original
The great novelist had gone mad, but now there seemed to be some hope for his recovery. For six months, he had been sitting at his typewriter, pounding out a novel. Finally, he pronounced it completed and brought the manuscript to his psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist eagerly began reading it aloud:
"General Jackson leaped upon his faithful horse and yelled, 'Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, giddyap...'"
The doctor thumbed through the rest of the manuscript in disbelief. "There's nothing here but 500 pages of 'giddyaps'!" he exclaimed.
"Stubborn horse," explained the writer.

这位伟大的小说家疯了，但现在似乎有了一丝康复的希望。六个月来，他一直坐在打字机前，奋力敲打着一部小说。终于，他宣布小说完成，并将手稿带给了他的精神病医生。
医生急切地开始大声朗读：
“杰克逊将军跨上他忠诚的战马，喊道：‘驾，驾，驾，驾……’”
医生难以置信地快速翻阅了剩下的手稿。“这五百页纸上除了‘驾，驾’什么都没有！”他惊呼道。
“是匹倔强的马，”作家解释道。
